Identity: Secret
Affiliation: Former Member of Masters of Evil, former employee of Phillipe Bazin
First Appearance: Darkhawk #8
Origin: Lodestone was subjected to a series of experiments by crimelord Phillipe Bazin that gave her her powers.
History: Phillipe Bazin was the crimelord whose operations were plagued by Darkhawk's attacks. He hired an unidentified woman to be subjected to experiments granting her the power
of manipulating magnetism, much in the same fashion as Magneto. Her first appearance, she fought Darkhawk and in the ensuing battle, severely wounded Chris' friend, Headset.
Later, when Darkhawk's amulet had been torn out of his chest by Tombstone, she fought and easily defeated him. However, after being captured by Lodestone and Bazin, DH's father sacrificed his life in order to free Darkhawk. Lodestone was defeated, and Bazin presumed dead.
Lodestone would only appear one other time, as one of the 51 members of the re-formed Masters of Evil.
Known Powers: Uses magnetism for levitation, force attacks, and manipulating metal objects.
Trivia:
- Lodestone has the distinction of being the only original Darkhawk villain to appear outside that series.
